OK, so we listen and invest $100. After that then what. After 2 years I might of turned that $100 into $500? Yea thats technically making money, but at the same time thats not enough to freak out about, if someone poor chose not to risk that $100.

this is a defeatist way of looking at things.

there are things that almost doubled in price within the last week.
and its plenty of information and people here to help.

changing the way you look at how it will help you ...can help you.

right now the $100 could be five in months.
but if you not patient or understand saving and investing.....then you will not see it as worth it.

and being poor financially dont mean you are poor mentally.
I really hate the word poor. at the end of the day its relative.
 


Necessities/utilities

Shouldn't be commodities

I think we take alot of shit for granted, im always mindful.. Always but you cant help yourself if your reality is different..


I see it here on this site to a different degree...

this is sad.

sometimes you need to hear and see shit like this to put things into perspective.

we do take things for granted. many things and many people.

i hope we all learn something from this.

My wife and me are looking into what stocks to invest in. We understand that we are not going to make money overnight.

Fam not saying you right or wrong, but getting your money to work for you is a process that takes time and patience. Worrying bout a quick few hundred bucks and year 2 aint it. The idea is to invest intelligently for 15-20 years and then if done right you could be making 60k a year of interest without ever touching your money and stop working.

You might say 15 years is a long time to wait. I would agree. My biggest problem personally was always patience and not being patient enough. The fact is though these 15 years gonna pass at the same pace regardless. So its better to invest a $100 a month and slowly increase it and have 6 figures at the end of the 15 years.
 
The only other thing Ill say in this thread is that mfers pay good money to get the knowledge that @Sion drops for free in the investing threads. I get that everyone is in a different phase of life and investing aint a priority for some. Shit you couldnt force me to invest at 25. I wasnt on that. But for those of yall who are interested, check them threads. Jewels get dropped. Jewels people go and pay financial advisors for.

Or more about having the ability to take advantage of the potential, which not everyone is in a position to do. You got folks out here being laid off, not knowing when or where they'll be on a stable income again. So it shouldn't be a shock that alot of folks are turned off by the "invest now" crowd because it does read pretty tone deaf at the moment. Folks out here trying to figure out when they're going to be able to get a job interview don't want to hear shit about investing because they ain't got shit to invest.

I agree with this completly. Thats why these investment posts should be moved to the investment thread.

This shit isn't going to stop they will keep making it spike every 3-4 months or so and this isolating, social distancing shit will put many out of work, docile and dependent on a universal basic income which will come with many strings attached like vaccinating, and tracking.



Shout out to @Muad'Dib for the drop.

I've been think that mandatory vaccinations will be a thing in some places.

even if you dont invest now...

you can learn for later.

practice the jumpshot before you get in the game or on the team. so when you on the team......it flows.

thats why we started the game and i asked people to post why they made the decisions they made.

this is a great time to learn. we have nothing but time.
